Before I buy gauges?

Before I buy gauges?
I have been seriously thinking about installing boost, EGT and pump pressure gauges. I am not sure if this is something that I should do myself or have them installed. Before I decide I was wondering if anyone knows of a link, page or wherever that shows installation instructions that I can view. Any help would be great.

Here's some instructions for you. Don't let the title of the boost gauge install fool you, it mentions yours too.<br>I didn't find anything on the fuel pressure install, but several members have outlined it in previous threads. You might try a search, or probably someone will jump in...<br><br>Pyrometer Installation Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel<br>http://www.dieselpage.com/gipda.htm<br><br>Boost Gauge Installation Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 1991-1998 12 Valve (Intercooled)<br>http://www.dieselpage.com/gibdl.htm<br>

Something to consider- You may not want to spend the extra $ for the boost gauge line kit (if it doesn't come with your gauge), the supplied tubing may be too short depending on where you mount the gauges. "A" pillar, probably no problem. But I put mine below the radio and ash tray on the lower dash panel. I had bought 6' of 1/8" air brake tubing at a local truck parts store and it was just barely long enough. Of course, I think about 5' is what comes in most kits. You might weigh the benefit of the fittings included, I had need of a 45* elbow and ended chasing all over town to find it. I used a bit more tubing because I wanted to run in through an existing grommet, not making any new holes in the firewall.
